German Government Imposes New Production Measures on Streamers and Networks
The German government has introduced new production measures requiring global streamers and domestic TV stations to invest at least 8% of their annual net turnover in European content to support the German production sector. This move aims to revitalize the country's struggling production industry. If companies reach a 12% investment, they may be exempt from more complex regulations, potentially allowing for English-language productions. The agreement also includes financial support for films, nearly doubling the current funding to €250 million annually. The measures have received mixed reactions, with some industry bodies criticizing the regulations as burdensome.
